The mass graves are thought to contain the bodies of migrants
Audio By Carbonatix
UN investigators have uncovered new evidence of mass graves thought to contain the bodies of migrants at a trafficking point in north-west Libya.
The organisation’s fact-finding mssion said the discovery - in the town of Tarhuna - provided further evidence that human rights violations in Libya are “widespread, systematic or both.”
The findings have been presented to the Human Rights Council.
Libya – a major hub for migrants trying to reach Europe - has been experiencing ongoing violence and instability since the toppling and killing of the country’s long-time leader Muammar Gaddafi more than a decade ago.
